Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: YES

There is a conflict when using Type Expanders like TextExpander with CopyPaste. I like TextExpander but can't use it when CopyPaste is running and CopyPaste's yType offers the same feature. I also liked the old MenuBar icon better.

Won't be trying this product yet - allen_a_watson_dotmac

I checked with SmileOnMyMac support, and they confirm that TextExpander conflicts with CopyPaste even when the yType (text replacement) feature is turned off, and express uncertainty as to whether the conflict can be fixed. I rely so heavily on CopyPaste that I won't even bother to turn it off to try TextExpander. I'd like the ability to insert graphics with a mnemonic set of keys, but that's not enough to woo me away from CopyPaste.

If they can fix this conflict, I'd like to try the product, but not before then.
